So here’s a Sketchup teaser. At least for me. How do I punch a hole through an object with a beveled surface? I want to make a through hole parallel to the back surface. I tried by punching a hole through a rectangle then chopping off the bevel, but it will not ‘cut’ through the hole. I then made the beveled part and placed a hole which went out the back. I then used the rotate tool to align the hole with the back surface but can’t figure out how to chop off the ends.

Thanks Dave. I probably should have stated my original question as; what is the best way to punch a hole through a beveled surface(s)?

Like I said above, I made a circle on the beveled surfavce and used Push/Pull to extend it. Because that surface is on a 15 degree angle the hole went out the back. I then used the Rotate tool the align the hole parallel to the back surface.

I had to print DaveR’s response on that one because I’m not sure the book I bought on Sketch UP covers this sort of thing. In another 6 months I may have it down. I was going to show some of it to my grand kids during the holidays. They will probably pick it up faster and end up helping me (-;

Pocket holes… they’re not just for screws anymore. This is what I’m working on.

Just thread a cable and add tension. I’m experimenting with some 1/16” diameter threaded rod I got a Home Depot too. I used mortise and loose tenons on my bed project and thought of this. I’m also adding a loose tenon or two in the middle, but have not put those in the model; yet.
